I DON´T LIKE MONDAYS

Los Boomtown Rats nacieron en 1975. Durante la existencia de la banda, pasaron de la pura energía y agresividad de éxitos como “Looking after No. 1″ a los aires más sofisticados, pero aún provocadores de “I Don’t Like Mondays”:Su título se deriva de la respuesta que dió una alumna de San Diego cuando le preguntaron por qué mató a sus compañeros de clase. El 29 de Enero de 1979, lunes, Brenda Spencer disparó a nueve niños de una escuela en San Diego, California. La razón que dió para su crimen inspiró a Bob Geldof para escribir esta canción para su banda punk de Dublín. Llegó a los primeros puestos de las listas inglesas en Julio de 1979, pero fracasó en los Estados Unidos cuando las emisoras de radio se negaron a emitir la canción.

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload,
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's going to make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold,
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I Dont't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world,
And Mother feels so shocked,
Father's world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen,
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
They can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why ...

All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die,
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die
